# Changing your plan

> Upgrading, downgrading, and switching between monthly and annual billing — including what you're charged today.

You can move between plans whenever you like, and the change takes effect
immediately. Open **Settings**, choose **Plans & Billing** under **Account**,
and pick the plan you want.

When you switch, OpenWhispr shows you what you'll be charged today before you
confirm — you're not agreeing to an unknown number.

## What you're charged when you switch

Billing is prorated, which means you only pay for what you use:

* **Upgrading mid-cycle** — you're charged the difference between what you've
  already paid and the new plan, for the days left in the current period. Not a
  full month on top.
* **Downgrading mid-cycle** — the unused portion of what you've paid becomes
  credit, and it comes off your next invoice rather than being refunded to your
  card.
* **Monthly to annual** — the same maths. Annual works out cheaper: Pro is
  \$8/month or \$80/year, and Business is \$20/user/month or \$200/user/year, so a
  year up front costs you ten months rather than twelve.

The figure shown before you confirm is the amount for today. Your regular
billing date stays where it is.

## Downgrading to Free

There's no separate "downgrade to Free" — that's
[cancelling](/help/account/cancel-your-subscription). You keep unlimited local
dictation and your own API keys, and OpenWhispr Cloud returns to the Free
allowance.

## FAQ

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Will I lose anything when I downgrade?">
    Your notes and transcriptions all stay. What changes is the allowance on
    OpenWhispr Cloud and the file size you can upload to it — see
    [Plans and limits](/help/plans-and-limits).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="I switched plans and the app still shows the old one.">
    It usually catches up within a few seconds of Stripe confirming the change.
    If it hasn't after a minute, close and reopen Settings. If it's still wrong,
    tell us — that's a bug, not something you should have to work around.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I pay annually for a team?">
    Yes — Business is \$200/user/year. For teams, seats are managed in the
    workspace rather than on your personal plan.
